Statement of CHR Spokesperson, Atty Jacqueline Ann de Guia, on the evacuation of OFWs within Israel

In the context of an escalating violence in Israel, there is a need to ensure the safety and well-being of Filipinos, especially in the conflict-affected areas of Gaza, Ashkelon, and Ashdod.

In this regard, the Commission on Human Rights recognises the efforts of the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration (OWWA), in coordination with the Philippine Overseas Labor Office and the Philippine Embassy in Tel Aviv, in conducting in-country evacuation of Filipinos in the said areas, including Filipino workers living with their employers.

An estimated 30,000 Filipinos worker in Israel. OWWA also notes that there are Filipinos married to Palestinians living in Gaza.

We stress that, even abroad, the Philippine government, through OWWA, is still mandated to look after the welfare of Filipinos. Both the Migrant Workers and Overseas Filipinos Act of 1995 (R.A. No. 8042) and the Overseas Workers Welfare Administration Act (R.A. No. 10801) mandate the government to undertake the protection of Overseas Filipino Workers during different crises, including war and conflict.

It is the duty of the State to uphold the safety of every Filipino in and out of the country, and efforts like facilitating in-country evacuation exemplify the effective fulfillment of its responsibilities as duty-bearer of rights and a public servant.

With the said actions, the Commission extends its gratitude and support to OWWA and other relevant government agencies, both in the Philippines and in Israel, for their proactive efforts in protecting the rights and welfare of Filipinos in these conflict-stricken areas. ###
